The discipline of biomedical engineering applies the ideas and methods of engineering to the study of problems in biology and medicine, and its professionals have become important players in the strategies applied to today s socioeconomic issues and to the way we address the field of modern medicine.

The EHEA bachelor's degree course Biomedical Engineering is delivered by the Faculty of Medicine, hereby maximizing the degree course's association with the area of health and health care and facilitating the students' contact with professionals in health sciences. The classes will be jointly taught by the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Physics. In order to promote the internationalization of these studies and student and teacher mobility, the main language of instruction for the third and fourth years of the course will be English.

This degree course is designed to provide the student with substantial interdisciplinary training and first-year students will soon be involved in bringing together their studies in engineering, physics and mathematics with studies in biology and medicine, developing the knowledge and skills base to work in the following areas:

Problem-solving procedures in the area of biomedicine. R&D procedures in the interface between engineering and biomedicine. The professional skills required in companies, hospitals, research centres and public agencies dedicated to biomedicine.
